Thoughts on Harry Potter

************SPOILER ALERT************

DO NOT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU HAVE NOT READ ANY OR ALL OF THE HARRY POTTER BOOKS

As the seventh book's release date draws closer and closer, I've been wondering if all of the loose ends left to be wound up will in fact be knitted together. What new things will we learn? What old things will be thrown into a new light? Will the various sub plots come together in a stunning conclusion that we won't see coming? With those questions in mind, I have a few more questions that I want answered in the final book.

• J.K Rowling has said that Dumbledore is indeed dead, but she also said that Dumbledore's scenes in the seventh book were particularly hard to write. Does this mean we will get to see him again in a memory or will we get to talk to his portrait in the Headmistress's office?
• Will we get to meet Aberforth, Dumbledore's brother and the bartender at the Hogshead Pub?
• Will the debt that Peter Pettigrew owes Harry Potter for saving his life in The Prizoner of Azkaban finally be paid?
• Will we ever learn what "In essence divided" means, as said by Dumbledore in The Order of the Phoenix when Harry sees Nagini attack Mr. Weasley?
• Will we ever know what that brief 'gleam' of triumph in Dumbledore's eyes was on the night Voldemort returned to power?
• Will Ron and Hermione get together?
• Will Harry and Ginny reunite?
• Will Bill be a full werewolf?
• Will Hogwarts reopen?
• Who will die in the final battle and who will survive until the epilogue?
• What side is Snape on?
• Is Voldemort just a 'red herring' masking the true battle between Harry and Snape?
• Why did Snape kill Dumbledore?
• What memory was Dumbledore revisiting the night he and Harry went to the seaside cave?
• Will Stan Shunpike ever be set free?
• Will Neville avenge his parents and kill or otherwise incapacitate Bellatrix Lestrange?
• What, if anything, will we learn about Petunia Dursley?
• Will Harry find all of Tom Riddle's remaining Horcruxes?
• Is the locket in Number 12 Grimmauld Place Slytherin's locket?
• Is R.A.B. Regulus Black and was that why he was killed, "on Voldemort's orders"?
• If R.A.B. was Regulus Black, did he make Kreacher drink the poison while he stole Voldemort's horcrux, which might explain Kreacher's seeming insanity?
• Will Harry defeat Voldemort?
• Will Harry kill Voldemort and split his soul?
